1 Claim. 1

The present invention relates to ladies hair nets.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a hair net of noveland improved construction, which is specially suited for bobbed haircoiffures.

In most styles of bobbed hair arrangements, the bottom zone of thehair-do is comprised of the curled ends of the hair, the topof the headis the zone where the hair is substantially straight and intermediatesuch mentioned zones is the zone where the hair is waved. My improvedhair net is so constructed, that the hair in the curled region is heldsecurely against the head, thus fixing the waved hair portions againstdownward movement which would unravel the wave and holding the hair inthe curled region in the arranged style and format. The net also offersthe required stability of position of the hair in the waved region orzone where the intermediate portions of the hair are in waved formation.The crown of the net, covering the straight hair zone, is ordinary. Thedetails of structure of my improved net will now be set forth.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Fig. 1 is a pictorial View of a hair net embodying the teachings of thisinvention, shown on the head of a wearer.

Fig. 2 shows the back of the head of a lady whose bobbed hair isarranged in fundamental style which is the basis of most hair-dos forshort hair. In this view are indicated the mentioned zones of straighthair, waved hair and curled hair.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary portion of my improved net shown in plan; thebottom line in this view being the rim of the net and the top portionbeing of the crown.

In the drawings, the zone around the head l5, indicated by the letter Ais where the hair is substantially straight. In zone B, the hair iswaved and in the zone C, the hair is curled and includes the hair ends.

The crown portion I6 of the hair net I4, is of an extent to cover thezone A. The rimband portion I1 of the hair net is to cover the zone Cand the intermediate net portion I8 is to cover the zone B of thewearers head l5. Net portion I6 is of rather coarse mesh. The netportion I! is of relatively fine mesh, while the mesh of the net portionI8 is coarser than of portion I1 nd finer than that of net portion I6.As a practical example, net portion I6 may be of inch netting, portionI8 of 4 inch netting and portion ll of inch netting. The net portion I8is preferably a little narrower than the net portion l1, and theirrespective widths maybe two and two and one-half inches. I find thesedimensions really suitable for the purposes intended.

An elastic 2! is around the nets rim. Another elastic I9 is on thejunction line of net portions I? and I 8, and at least one elastic 26 isaround the net on portion I'l, intermediate the elastics I9 and 2|,preferably midway. For the dimensions given, I find one suchintermediate elastic 20 sufficient. The manner of weaving in theelastics is well known in this art therefore needs no furtherexplanation.

Net portion it holds the hair it covers in ordinary manner as is usualin hair net function. Net portion I53 being of a less coarser mesh,better holds the hair which is waved in zone B. The elastics I9, 213 and2I being tensed when the net is worn, securely holds and positions thecurled hair in the zone C with the aid of the fine mesh netting of thenet portion I'I, against the head of the wearer, where the very ends ofthe hairs are held against movement by such fine mesh acted on by thetensed elastics.

This invention is capable of numerous forms and various applicationswithout departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It istherefore intended and desired that the embodiment shown herein bedeemed illustrative and not restrictive and that the patent shall coverall patentable novelty herein set forth; reference being had to thefollowing claim rather than to the specific description herein toindicate the scope of this invention.

I claim:

A hair net comprising a crown portion, a rim band portion andintermediate band portion connecting the rim and crown portions; thecrown portion being of relatively coarse mesh netting, the rim bandportion of relatively fine mesh netting and the immediate portion ofnetting whose mesh is coarser than that of the rim band portion. andfiner than that of the crown portion and including elastics woven inrespectively around the rim of the not, around the junction of the rimand intermediate portions and around the rim band portion intermediatethe other elastics.
